A Joke on Bernhardt.

Apropos of the theatre, Mime. Bern
hardt was made the victim of a practica
joke on the night Of her last Performance,
at the Star theatre. She is much addicted
to the practice known among actors a.
''guying, and philosophic enough to bt
not averse to a joke upon herself If it IL
funny. In the second act Of Theodore
the empress visits the amphithestre in
which she wa once q star. In the vaults
where the performers and the wild beasts
are housed she renews old acquaintance,
especially with brutes. The audience sees
the lions cage, with the straw sticking
out between the bars. but the lion himself
is left to the imagination. On this &C
casion when Bernhardt went up TO the
cage to caress the phantom king of beasts
she almost shrieked with laughter. Nest
ling comfortably In the straw WAS a poodl,
puppy which blinked and whimpered a,
her as she ~apostrophized It in heroic
strain. The affair put her in such good
humor that the performance passed of
without q quarrel with any one-a rarity
indeed, as performances with Nine. Bern,

Times.

An American writer who visited SOME
Of the most important OF the agricultural
districts OF Japan In company with Gen.
Van Buren,, United States consul general
at Yokohama, has published an interesting
account Of what he saw and heard. OF
labor saving instruments or machines
Japan has very few. Even the pillow is
but little used, a broad plated mattock
being the principal tool for stirring the
soil, and there is not q flour mill in the
country, unless the hand grinding ma
chine similar to that depicted on he
tombs of the ancient Egyptians can be
called by that name. Wheat is for the
most part hulled and eaten rs rice is, that
which Is ground being made into unleav-
ened cakes. There is no word in the Jap
anese language for breed, nor any pro-
cess in the national cookery analogous TO
yeast fermentation.
In manyp parts Of the country the soil is
extremely fertile and the cultivation is e
cellent. Near Kioto, the old capital, It is
not uncommon to grow seventy bushels OF
rice TO the acre a. the second crop of the
year from the same land which had pro.
duced forty bushels of wheat as a winter
crop. Nor is this all the years produce,
for early vegetables are sown between the
rows of wheat in February, maturing
with the latter in May. After the wheat
harvest the land is prepared for and
planted with rice, which is harvested in
October. Barley and rye, like wheat, are
planted in the autumn. Maize is cult
waited TO some extent and millet is pro-
durad hundantlv in altitulps where rice
will not flourish. The farmers manure
the land heavily and stir it a great num-
Der of times between harvesting AMI sew
ing, also cultivating between the row.

The Polk Homestead

The Polk homestead is a large, roomy,
two story brick fronting ON Union and
Vine streets, with ample grounds about
IL, modestly and t~astefully ornamented
with s~hrubbery and flowers. On the
fronts rise immense wooden columns, APP
pearing like stone at a little distance, sup
porting verandas which spring out from
the caves. The windows are all old
fashioned, as Is everything else about the
house. Within are broad halls and stair
ways, and great square rooms filled with
antique and rich furniture. Nearly all
the surrounding houses are Of modern
architecture, and in striking contrast with
the old mansion, every nook and corner
and angle Of which are full Of the foot
prints Of Father Time.
In the middle of the quadrangular slope
that lies next Vine street is the tomb
of the tenth president, OF plain granite,
with a square shaft rising a few feet, the
whole capped with the same material,
resting upon four plain granite pillars.
The canopy, on its front, next the street,
bears the simple inscription; flames X.
Polk, tenth : president of the United
States; born November 2, 1876; died June
Is, ls49."
On the shaft above the crypt is chiseled
an epitome Of his public career, from
which we learn that he wal a member OF
the Tennessee legislature, governor Of the
state, member Of congress, chairman OF
its most important committees, speaker
of the house Of representatives, and presi-
dent Of the United States. WA

The Association Of Collegiate Alumne
OF Boston have issued q pamphlet full of
statistics of what school girls eat and do
o eat in New York and Boston. Out ID
ninety girls who were questioned at one
of the public schools it was ascertained
that twelve had eaten no breakfast. OF
these twelve, six had brought no lunch.
con; the other six had cake, pie and
pickles, or similar indigestible food. A
story is told Of four girls-an English, a
French, a German and an American girl
who were taken to a restaurant and in
vited 10 call for the food hat each would
like. The English girl ordered roasted
beef, the German girl sauer kraut and
brown bread, the French girl called for
pate de foie gras and the American girl
without hesitation ordered pink ice cream

rne MAYOR oF raw Work.

ne Number and Length Of Mayor new.
xts Letters-How He Manages.
Mayor Hewitt has a thin, STOPPING fig
ure, and when he gets TO the mayors Of
nee, at about IL a. m, muffied In wraps,
and escorted by q stout policeman, he
hooks much like an invalid. But his in
tellect Il robust. He hears all who call
upon him, and has q way OF getting at
tie meat OF q case that is a terror TO slow
thinkers. He has q good many ideas
about administering the laws, but has o
pet found time to work them all out. The
complaints have poured in so rapidly that
he has found ii necessary to organize a
special bureau to look after them and for
ward them to the proper departments.
The mayor has astonished many per-
sons by the number and length of his let
ters, which have been most remarkable,
taking into consideration his known i'll
health. Not counting his private letters,
which are considerable, his missives TO
heads Of departments. to the governor,
the legislature and to various public
bodies which have invited him TO dine,
have required an mount of intellectual
effort that looks appalling to any one not
trained to the work. Ii must be borne in
mind that nearly all these letters are on
subjects of public interest, taking sides oil
disputed points, and exposing the writer
to sever criticism.
How does he do,
The only way he could perform such an
amount Of labor is by the use Of stenog-
raphers and typewriters, and, happily for
him, Mayor Hewitt thoroughly under
stands how TO use these great time savers.
By long practice and the habit of offhand
talking and clear thinking, the mayor
talks off o letter in q few minutes that
would require an hour of his time if he
were TO write it, At the same time he
provides for a copy for his own protection.
: These copies have served him on W
memorable occasions.
For a short letter the mayor sometimes
does not give his stenographer time to sit
down, but catches him on the fly, as it
were, and dictates 70 bin while both are
walking about the room. But, short or
long, the mayors letters are the feature
of his administratio ON. He likes to get
everything down in black and white.
The mayors rail is enormous. II
would be a physical impossibility for him
to open and read II all. A very large
part OF this work is done for him by his
private secretary. In this way he is re-
lieved Of a great deal of routine work
which otherwise would consume all his
time.
Mayor Hewitt is a good listener. His
attitude is generally one Of reflection, and
be hears patiently IS long as his informant
tells a straightforward story. He is a
sick man and naturally irritable under
~provocation, but his cranky moments have
generally q foundation In a belief on his
part that he has been wronged. His ra-
pidity Of judgment and rapidity Of utter
c sometimes stagger men OF slow
thought and weak memory, and he is not
overload of explaining things If he takes a
notion that his hearer is AT all obtuse.-

Potash Fertilizer. for Fruit.

Potash fertilizers have decidedly i'm
proved the desirable quality of fruits.
Wherever the percentage Of this element
has been raised the change is accompanied
by an increase Of sugar and decrease of
acid. This. it is hardly necessary to say,
is an important and desirable change
matter Of dollars and cents. Other things
being equal, the fruit with the largest per
cent. Of sugar will bring the highest price.
Moreover, less desirable varieties may be
brought up to q higher standard, thus
giving value to some good quality, as
hardness and prolific bearing. The fact
that the quality and character of garden
and orchard products can be modified by
the effect OF special fertilizers is OF i'm
mense Importance In its practical as well
as scientific bearing.

A Peril for Emigration.

Mr.. Grant Allen, a recent visitor from
England, has discovered a peril from mi
grafton which has been wholly overlooked.
He says he finds the worst weeds Of Eng
land, Scotland and ireland fiourishing lux
uriantly on our soil, and also many Others
from the eastern countries Of Europe. Some
weeds have also been introduced from
Asia, and he thinks we shall soon have an
influx from every part Of the world. They
are generally, he says, Of the very worst
quality, and most obnoxious TO the gar.
dener and farmer, and, when once fairly
naturalized, impossible to extirpate. The
